An assault Thursday morning on the city portion of the Swamp Rabbit Trail won't result in assigning additional officers as the Sheriff's Office did last month following incidents on the larger county portion of the trail, a spokesman for the Greenville City Police Department says.

"What you have to realize is that there's only five miles in the city, and we staff it with one officer going back and forth," Officer Johnathan Bragg told GreenvilleOnline.com. "Five miles is not a huge area for us to cover, so that's why we feel that one officer is sufficient."
